I never thought I'd ever be called
a workaholic.
When I was young I didn’t know
what I want to be when I grow up.
When I graduated from high school, I looked for something "fun" to study. I looked for a "fun" job. I never ever considered Law. It was a big No for me and totally the opposite of fun.

Here I am. Practicing Law, and not
even wanting to end a working day. I could work 24/7 without any complaints. I
love it. It's good. It's very important to love what you do. They say, "If
you love what you do, you'll never work a day in your life." It's true.
I work overtime, late hours and
sometimes, even on the weekends.
The other day the gate guard said: "tell me, don't you have a life?!" It was like as if someone gave me a slap of wake up.

I enjoy my job and I love it. But
for that reason I am forgetting that there is life happening beside work. I am
forgetting that there are other things important in this life that I should be
considering. I came across a quote that says "Do not deceive yourself by
overworking beyond the limits of necessity". I need to remind myself that
work will never be finished and I should have time for other things as well.
I've always been loyal to my work.
At the past office, I used to work much less, but if needed, I didn't mind
working overtime or take some work home. At this office, work is never
over. My desk is always full of things to do.
Since I started at this office, I
became under a constant stress. But that never minded me. It's the office
I wanted, the type of work, the place, the people, and everything is so good.
What keeps me going is mostly the
people I work with. We are 10. We talk and laugh together, and it's not just
about work. We are all friends.
My boss is awesome. I love and
admire him. He is like a father. I learn from him work techniques and life
lessons. He is a very good-well respected-lawyer. He is a very nice person with
a quiet-smart-personality. He makes me want to be like him.
When I go with him to trials and
meetings, and I watch him speaking with wisdom, my eyes get bright and my heart
gets full of admiration... So much to learn from that man.
How wouldn't I give my all to my
work?!
But yes, I miss out things because
of that.
I'm constantly rushing and
running. All of a sudden, summer is over! Where did the time go?! Actually, I
can't believe within two months I get to celebrate one year in the office! With
a blink of an eye, a year is gone.
